摘要：Surface Pre-reacted Glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler is a bioactive filler produced by PRG technology, which has been applied to various dental materials. A S-PRG filler can release multiple ions from a glass-ionomer phase formed in the filler. In the present study, detailed inhibitory effects induced by S-PRG eluate (prepared with S-PRG filler) against Streptococcus mutans, a major pathogen of dental caries, were investigated. S-PRG eluate effectively inhibited S. mutans growth especially in the bacterium before the logarithmic growth phase. Microarray analysis was performed to identify changes in S. mutans gene expression in the presence of the S-PRG eluate. The S-PRG eluate prominently downregulated operons related to S. mutans sugar metabolism, such as the pdh operon encoding the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the glg operon encoding a putative glycogen synthase. The S-PRG eluate inhibited several in vitro properties of S. mutans relative to the development of dental caries especially prior to active growth. These results suggest that the S-PRG eluate may effectively inhibit the bacterial growth of S. mutans following downregulation of operons involved in sugar metabolism resulting in attenuation of the cariogenicity of S. mutans, especially before the active growth phase.
